They say "statistics don't lie, even though these may
tell only half the truth ". So, it would have been really nice if the
government had come out with some numbers showing the achievements against the
targets on various factors such as:
Toilets:
Total number of schools, Number of
Toilets planned in schools and toilets built?
How many schools, out of the above
list, have segregated toilets for males - females?
How many of these and the old ones are
in operation and how many of these do have water?
How many of these and the old ones
are being regularly maintained?
Potable Drinking Water:
How many schools have safe drinking
water facility?
How many schools have clean hand
wash facility with toilet soaps - liquid soap?
General Hygiene:
How many schools have solid and
liquid waste management systems?
How many schools are given a lime
coat every two years at least?
Same set of Questions should be addressed for villages in
the country, Tier I & Tier II towns - cities and also the urban cities.
Such a paper or a report card will clearly show the ground
reality and also tell us if the government means business or not?
In fact I had written to the PMO about achieving this mammoth
goal in set time line - that is 2 nd October of 2019. I had suggested then that
every member of the Ruling Coalition should spend time and their allotted yearly
MP fund only on these above mentioned swatch bharat activities. Seeing this
either the other parties will also be forced to toe the line or they will fall
apart and get exposed about their intentions.
I saw the swatch bharat awards ceremony initiated by the
India Today Group. I would like to suggest the PM that he should ask the States
rules by BJP and alliance groups to announce such schemes at Gram Pachayat -
Municipal Corporation levels and interstate levels to recognize the efforts of
citizens - corporates in following categories:
Swatch Village in at the Gram
Panchayat Level
Swatch Village in the District
Swatch Village in the State
Swatch Tier I & Tier II towns
& Cities
Swatch Municipal Corporation
Swatchtam Place in the State
Swatch Government Run School at
each of the above levels
Swatch Private School at each of
the above levels
Swatchtam School in the state
Swatchtam Tourist destination in
the state
Swatchtam Historical Monument in
the State
Swatchtam Bus Stand in the State
Swatchtam Railway Station in the
State
Swatchtam State among the BJP -
Alliance ruled States
We could add many more categories. Each Award should have a
Prize Money of Rs. 1.0 Lac & a citation. Such winners should get more
allocation of funds for development of roads - infrastructure in their area.
I am sure this will not only have a multiplier effect but
will also spread awareness amongst the citizens certainly. This will also show to
the nation that the BJP is a different party with a definite vision. The other
states will be forced to follow these measures or fall by the way side and get
exposed.
